Wellbeing
Wellbeing at Nar Nar Goon Primary School:
We are a Berry Street school.
The Berry Street Education Model (BSEM) equips both mainstream and specialist schools with practical, classroom-based strategies to increase the engagement of all students, including those with complex, unmet learning needs.
The education model enables schools to support students’ self-regulation, relationships and wellbeing to increase student engagement and significantly improve academic achievement.
Please see Berry Street Education Model – Learning and Resources | Berry Street
In order to build social and personal capabilities, we use the games-based approach which enables us to link our School Values with a set of Positive Behaviours that demonstrate these values. Our whole school benefits from this approach, and we know we are modelling and explicitly teaching personal and social competencies that our students both require and develop.
Other whole-school programs and initiatives are:
- Respectful Relationships
- Strong Values Program- Respect, Persistence, Honesty, Responsibility and Excellence
- Buddies Program
- Positive Rewards including "E for Excellence" certificates and "Values" wristbands.
- E Smart
- Bright Beginnings-where classroom behaviour expectations and school culture and values are explicitly taught and revisited at the beginning of each term.
- Peer Mediation
